I'm actually a huge fan of a trading economy, to be honest. But that's probably because I can make things and would have incentive to make better things if I got food for it all. Not to mention, like, doing work for food. That works for me. It also makes it easier to travel the world. Just buy your way on a boat or plane and start walking, taking jobs for food and board and then walking again. Perfection.

To be honest, I would welcome it. If it didn't mean the death of the internet, I would welcome the idea of going back to the earth to get food and the rest. Having a teched out farm, for instance. I'd be cool with that. It'd be tiring, but it'd be worth it. Make me feel better about what I'm doing with my life than right now, anyway.

Uh. What do you think, Dick and Jerel, for whom the thread was created...? n_n;;;

Hey, Dick's been working with him on basic human self-defence, and it all comes pretty naturally when he's a leopard. Jerel knows he should hang back so he can take care of the wounded, but like hell is he going to let anything happen to his new family if he has a snowball's chance in hell of helping out.

Taking care of the wounded /is/ helping out. Dick's not in favour of Jerel staying back and cowering in the corner to wait for the Waynes to save the day or anything. But he can be action doctor. Just so long as everyone makes it out alive, Jerel especially, then it should all be okay.

....so long as Dick doesn't actually /see/ Jerel get wounded in any way at all.

Oh man is Dick not okay with that. Afterwards, he'll end up yelling about how Jerel would feel if Dick did something reckless like that. And then quietly admit that it saved their asses but JESUS CHRIST, JEREL.

Dick does reckless shit like that all the time! Sure, he's been trained for it, but Dick's gotta understand, Jerel's been the war widow waiting at the phone for bad news for months now, and now the fight's come to him and he's not gonna keep sitting by the phone. He's going to /do/ something; he's going to make sure all of them come out of it alive any way he can.

Yeah, understandable, but taking on Clownz like that? Does Jerel have a deathwish? What if one of them had silver? What if he got shot? What if he got shot /in the head/? Then what? Who would save /him/, because Alfred can only do so much, he can only put so many people back together and Dick can't lose Jerel, dammit.

Those are the kinds of things Dick goes up against every night, those what ifs, and Jerel's just as involved as Dick is. He's not going to sit by and lose another home to the Joker. And if Jerel got hurt that's something he'd deal with when the time came.

There is absolutely no talking to Jerel and it's annoying as hell. Doesn't he understand why Dick's freaking out right now? He keeps saying he does. So why doesn't he just - augh, it doesn't matter. Dick gets it, Jerel's fighting for his territory and everything and it's war but it just freaks him the fuck out, okay?

Of course he understands why Dick's freaking out, he's just trying to make Dick understand that this is how Jerel feels every night Dick goes out, and that Dick's not the only one with a sense of doing what's right. He never intended to freak Dick out. He just wanted to help protect their home.
